He Claimed He Served Human Flesh at His Beef Stand

He Claimed He Served Human Flesh at His Beef Stand

Joe Metheny lived in a small trailer beside an industrial pallet yard in south Baltimore, working nights and keeping largely to himself. After his wife left and he lost custody of his son, Metheny spiraled into violence that would later shock the city.

The case broke open in December 1996 when Rita Kemper escaped a brutal assault inside his trailer and alerted police. Investigators returned to the property and discovered shallow graves near the trailer, identifying the bodies of Kimberly Spicer and Cathy Ann Magaziner. Metheny confessed to strangling and dismembering his victims.

He also made a disturbing claim that captured national attention. Metheny told authorities he had mixed human flesh into meat sold from his open pit beef stand. Prosecutors were never able to prove that allegation, and no physical evidence confirmed it. In court, the focus remained on what could be established beyond doubt, the murders and the assault.

Metheny was sentenced to life without parole after an earlier death sentence was overturned. He died in prison in 2017. His case remains one of Baltimore’s most disturbing crimes, fueled as much by verified violence as by the shocking claims he made himself.
